 “ It’s a little known fact that smartest animal is a pig. Scientists say if pigs had thumbs and a language, they could be trained to do simple manual labor. They give you 20-30 years of loyal service and then at their retirement dinner you can eat them.” – Cliff Clavin

Well, well, well… it’s 2013.  So far here, it’s been a rainy and cold new year, but this year is going to rock so hard…so there.  We have coming up our first Morning Shuffle of the new year… sort of… it appears on my new phone, when you “shuffle all” it really just begins playing at a random place and if the shuffle feature is not turned on, it just plays songs in alphabetical order from that point.  I discovered this in the midst of my morning commute, and turned the shuffle feature on.  So the first part of the list is not a true shuffle, but the last part is… you’ll figure it out… after the JUMP!

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle – Eerily Familiar Mix



Are you scared yet?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!  A little frost on the pumpkin here in Nashville.

What is your favorite Halloween-themed song?

We aren’t doing a theme today, but the shuffle is scary good.


Montreal-based Michael Silver records under the name CFCF.  He teams up here with fellow Montreal Electronic band Austra with a song from the brand new Paper Bag Records album cover compilation Paper Bag Records vs. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.  They do Soul Love.  Check it…

We continue to delve into the musical treasure trove that is Marvin Country! by Marvin Etzioni.  We pick up today with Gram Revisited which features some sampled talking by the song’s subject – the late Gram Parsons. 

 
Here’s different, but still excellent song off Marvin Country!

And here is Gram Parson with The Flying Burrito Brothers

Blind Willie Johnson, the early 20th Century Texas Blues/Gospel musician wrote and recorded Soul of a Man. It was released in 1930.  


 
One of my favorite covers of the song

Memphis alternative rockers Sore Eyes reported back in July that they were at work on a new album.  Until then, we have a Bonus Track we culled from ReverbNation.  Check out Let It Go:

Here is a different Sore Eyes song via Youtube.
